Chengtu, Oct, 11. girls' luggage, as she passed along a hilly part of the country this side of Tunglianghsien. No injury was attempted, however, and foreign but not the native goods were restored later.
One Hsien official is reported to have had-thirty-five executions during the last month. Many of these banditti are ex-soldiers, still ab large from the rebellion last Here in the far west the great struggle now going on in Europe scarce affects us. That there is such a war is of course widely known. The daily papers, now about seven in number, recor the telegrams daily, but give little! or no comment. In fact it is understood that an order has come from Peking that such an attitude jis to be observed. All editorials and comments must first be censored by the Government before being printed.
One of the leading dailies is said to be sufficiently inf inscriptions or subsi willing to act as mouthpiece for the Alliance side, but with the censorship it can say little. It of course gives prominence to the " Ostasiafischer Lloyd" telegrams, but as it publishes Reuter's also, the readers, at least have wide grounds for choice. Where the Alliance telegrams we receive here really originate is a mystery to many others than the Chinese. They of course report constant Alliance victories, and defeats of the Triple Entente with tremendous destruction. But many of these messages seem to be a second day rehash of first day Reuter's with the facts properly and picturesquely reversed.
